Student records are maintained under the provision of the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). This federal
act seeks to protect students rights to access and to privacy by
limiting access to student records to those persons authorized by
the FERPA regulations or by individual students.

The College reserves the right to contact a students parent (or
a physician of the students choice) when, in the opinion of the
College, notification is necessary to protect the health,
well-being, or safety of a student or other persons.

Access to Records

Students may inspect all records pertaining to them which are
maintained by the College. The only exceptions to this access are
those records exempted under FERPA.

Directory information, as listed in this publication, is public
unless the student requests in writing to the Registrar that all or
part of such information not be published:

Name, local and home address, telephone numbers, and date of
birth;

Dates of attendance, major field of study, and degrees and
awards received; and

Participation in recognized activities, organizations, and
sports (including weight and height or membership on athletic
teams).

Access to any other information, except by persons authorized by
the student, is strictly limited in accordance with FERPA
regulations.
